Sherman Adams, one of the most influential figures in the Eisenhower White House, is best known today for having resigned his position in a scandal known as the "Vicuna Coat Affair."

Sherman said she met Dasen through a friend who was "going to Dasen for financial reasons" and Dasen gave her his cell phone number to call if she ever wanted to see him or needed help.
Sherman acknowledged she began using methamphetamine before she met Dasen and that she has been using various drugs off and on since she was a teenager.
Sherman is now on felony parole for charges related to writing bad checks, a situation Dasen contributed to because he wrote her a few checks that bounced and she had overdrawn her account by the time she knew his checks didn't clear, she said.

The series of 8 10-inch fl-and-white photographs featuring Sherman herself in a variety of roles is reminiscent of film noir and presents viewers with an ambiguous portrayal of women as sex objects.
Sherman stated that the series was "about the fakeness of role-playing as well as contempt for the domineering 'male' audience who would mistakenly read the images as sexy." She continued to be the model in her photographs, donning wigs and costumes to challenge cultural stereotypes.
Using prosthetic appendages and liberal amounts of makeup, Sherman moved into the realm of the grotesque and the sinister with photographs that featured mutilated bodies and reflected such concerns as eating disorders, insanity, and death.

She was 18." Wondrously, the marriage of Rachel and Sherman Adams did not end on that first day, or even the next.
This is the flinty touchstone to Sherman Adams: often inconsiderate, always demanding, possessed of the disposition of a grizzly with a barked shin, Adams has in him rare strengths of loyalty, integrity and selflessness that inspire the respect and confidence—and sometimes even the fierce affection—of those closest to him.
Adams' official title is "the Assistant to the President" of the U.S. Adams himself modestly describes his duties as the "management of the President's desk." President Eisenhower says it another way: "I think of Adams as my chief of staff, but I don't call him that because the politicians think it sounds too military."
